"We discovered your restaurant through Facebook and decided to try your Buy 1 Take 1 steak promo. Honestly, I didn’t expect much since it was a promotion, but I was pleasantly surprised that the food was excellent! The steak was perfectly seasoned, and the gravy was delicious. We also ordered pasta, and my daughter, who is usually a picky eater, really enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be coming back! Special thanks to the staff as well they were very accommodating with all our requests, from providing condiments like salt, pepper, and chili flakes to adjusting the room temperature when it got too cold. Great food and great service!"

"I brought my family here (seniors and teenager included), everyone enjoyed the food. We ordered surf and turf, margherita pizza, prawns thermidore, amback burger, american fries and southern style chicken. EVERY ITEM IS GOOD!!! Food is nicely flavored and sauces are on point. The surf and turf was my personal favorite, while the amback burger is super valie for money as the price is good and also very delicious!"

"Good food. Loved the burger. Steak is okay for the price. Service is prompt. There is a room for improvement on the smoke side - it spills over to the dining area. You'll definitely smell of smoke once you're done. Would not recommend if you have respiratory issues. Serving Size: 5/5 Serving time: 10-15min Cleanliness: 4/5"

"Amazing food, lots to choose from. The service is ok but the attentiveness and smiles makes up for it. The prices are reasonable. I had the buy 1 take 1 steak. I've been looking for an American style restaurant in Davao and I found it."
